Chapter 76 Imperial Concubine's Decree
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong handed the bird food in his hand to the maid beside him.
Turned around and looked at Su Yan.
"Good idea."
"Su Yan, I have always known that you have some abilities, but I didn't expect that you have so many ideas in your head."
"The emperor gave me some good tea a few days ago. Let's drink tea together."
Su Yan bowed, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, but he still remained humble.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness. It is Su Yan's honor to be able to share your worries."
The two of them walked into the study, and the maids quickly served them freshly brewed hot tea. The lingering aroma of tea added a bit of vitality to the slightly dull room. Su Yan took a sip and praised.
"Good tea, it turns out that everything here is good, Your Majesty."
Prince Rong smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put it down and spoke slowly.
"Of course, my father dotes on me the most."
Su Yan looked at Prince Rong and reminded him.
"Your Highness, although Princess Huguo has a fierce temper and is rude, she does have a bit of cunning in her. We must be well prepared, otherwise it will be difficult to take action next time."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong looked at Su Yan and spoke.
"Does Mr. Su have any good ideas?"
"It's impossible to just kill her mother."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan moved closer to Prince Rong and whispered a few words. As Prince Rong listened to Su Yan's words, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Xiao family.
Xiao Fuguang was cleaning the warehouse with Mrs. Xiao.
Looking at the boxes of gold, silver and treasures in the warehouse.
Xiao Fuguang's eyes were shining as he exclaimed.
"Mom, I didn't expect our family has saved so many things."
"I feel like we'll never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives."
Madam Xiao spoke with a smile.
"You kid, how can you live off your savings?"
"What's more, we have to pave the way for Qi'an and give Fu Shuzan a dowry."
"We can only live in this farm in the suburbs for a short period of time. Your sister is getting older, so marriage is something we have to talk about."
Xiao Fushuo on the side spoke.
"Mother, I don't want to get married. I want to stay with your sister-in-law and sister Qi'an."
Madam Xiao glanced at her.
"What girl doesn't get married?"
"After keeping you by my side for a year, I will start looking for a marriage for you."
Then he looked at Xiao Fuguang.
"Fuguang, you too. Although we don't have any male heirs in our family, Qi'an will grow up slowly. You are the Protector of the Country Princess appointed by the Emperor himself, and your status is no less than those in the Imperial City. The Gu family members are all dead now, and you should let go of everything in the past. If there is a suitable one, you should also find a close friend so that you can have someone to rely on in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang smiled and walked forward, holding Mrs. Xiao's arm.
"Mother, my daughter can protect herself."
"I studied books and practiced astrology diligently. What I wanted was to have the skills to protect myself and my family."
"Men in this world are all heartless. Once a woman is married, she is trapped in a small house and can be manipulated by others. My daughter doesn't want to follow in those old ways."
When Madam Xiao heard this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but also with a bit of pride and helplessness.
"My Fu Guang, it's rare that you can think so clearly, but mother will grow old, your sister-in-law will have Qi'an in the future, and Fu Shu will also get married. What will you do when you are old?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang picked up a gold ingot and shook it in his hand.
"As long as you have enough money, you can live a good life."
"I'm still young. I can open many shops and save a lot of money. In my spare time, I can go sightseeing and travel. There are always many ways to relieve boredom. Mother, don't worry."
Xiao Fushu came over and took Xiao Fuguang's arm.
"Mother, I can also keep my sister company."
Mrs. Xiao looked at her two daughters, her eyes full of helplessness.
"You guys, your mother really can't do anything with you."
Lin Qingwan said with a smile.
"Mother, if my two younger sisters don't want to get married, then don't get married. Let's raise Qi'an together and let Qi'an take care of us in our old age."
The family was talking happily.
Liu Yue walked in and bowed.
"Miss, Aunt Lian Xin from Imperial Concubine Yao's side is here. She said she has an imperial decree from the Imperial Concubine for you."
The originally joyful atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and there was even worry in Mrs. Xiao's eyes.
"Fu Guang..."
Xiao Fuguang patted the back of her hand.
"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter will go and take a look."
Xiao Fuguang took her hand and spoke.
"Mother will go with you."
Xiao Fuguang held her hand and said.
"Mother, you are weak now. We need to go to the farm outside the city to recuperate. Please don't appear in front of the people in the palace."
After saying that, he took Xingyue and headed towards the hall.
In the hall.
Lian Xin was drinking tea next to the imperial concubine.
Seeing Xiao Fuguang come in, he stood up and greeted him politely.
"Miss Xiao."
Xiao Fuguang bowed slightly.
"Aunt Lianxin."
Lian Xin looked her over and spoke.
"Princess, I have the Imperial Concubine's order. Three days from now, it will be Old Madam Yao's birthday. I heard that you learned the mystical arts from the Imperial Master, so the Imperial Concubine has asked you to pray for Old Madam Yao at the birthday banquet three days later."
Alas, this is going to cause trouble again, but what can we do? The imperial concubine assists in managing the six palaces, which is equivalent to the vice-empress, and the emperor favors Prince Rong. The imperial edict has arrived, so naturally there is no way to refuse it, she smiled indifferently.
"Since this is the Imperial Concubine's order, Fu Guang will obey. Please ask Aunt Lian Xin to tell the Imperial Concubine that Fu Guang will sincerely pray for Old Madam Yao."
When Aunt Lian Xin saw Xiao Fuguang agreed so readily, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she returned to her indifferent expression and said.
"Very good, I will return to the palace to report immediately. In three days, a carriage will come to pick you up."
After Aunt Lian Xin left, Liu Yue asked anxiously.
"Miss, I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine has bad intentions. This is clearly a Hongmen Banquet. Do you really want to go?"
Xiao Fuguang spoke thoughtfully after hearing this.
"If she doesn't go, she will have reason to blame the Xiao family."
"No problem, if the enemy comes, we will stop him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth."
The Duke Dingguo's Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns inside and out, and guests came in an endless stream.
Old Madam Yao is sixty years old this year, and the Yao family's prestige in the imperial city has attracted high-ranking officials and their wives from all over the imperial city to come and celebrate her birthday.
Concubine Yao was also allowed to go home.
At this time, he was accompanying Old Madam Yao.
"Mother, today is your birthday. All the high-ranking officials and their wives in the entire imperial city have come to celebrate your birthday."
Concubine Yao was all smiles.
Old Madam Yao held her hand, full of relief.
"This is all because of your hard work. You are the daughter of your mother in her old age. I never thought that you would be the most promising one in our Yao family."
At this time, Lian Xin came with Xiao Fuguang.
Xiao Fuguang, wearing a light and elegant long dress, walked into the hall with light steps and bowed slightly to Old Madam Yao.
"Fuguang wishes Madam Yao good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
Concubine Yao hurriedly introduced herself.
"Mother, this is the Princess Protector of the Nation, the one who made great military achievements on the battlefield and also studied divination with the Imperial Master. Today is your birthday, and I specially invited the Princess to come and celebrate with you."
Old Madam Yao quickly returned the gift.
"So it's the Princess Protector of the Country. It's truly an honor to have you here. Please take a seat."
Xiao Fuguang smiled indifferently.
"Thank you, Madam Yao."
Prepare to find a secluded place to sit.
But Concubine Yao spoke.
"Princess, I finally have the opportunity to dine with you. Please sit next to me and accompany the birthday boy with me."
Yes, you are the imperial concubine, you are great, you have the final say, Xiao Fuguang lowered his head slightly.
"Yes, I will listen to the Imperial Concubine."
At this time, the Xiao family.
He was originally planning to leave the imperial city, but was delayed because Xiao Fuguang had to attend a birthday banquet.
The family had to wait until the birthday party was over before going to the farm.
After lunch, Mrs. Xiao played with Qi'an for a while and then went back to her room for a nap.
But she had just sent the maid away.
A voice was heard in the room.
"Mrs. Xiao."
Prince Rong was seen falling from the beam.
Madam Xiao saluted hurriedly.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Rong."
Prince Rong looked at Madam Xiao indifferently, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Mrs. Xiao continued to squat, trying to appear calm.
"I wonder what brings His Royal Highness Prince Rong to my humble abode?"
Prince Rong sneered and walked to the chair and sat down.
“Of course I want to negotiate a deal with Madam Xiao.”
